Thanks. Not really sure, but was thinking of pulling the parts from a Mustang.

Did you consider a T-Bird super coupe as a donor car. Manual trans, easy to hang a clutch.....Even the ECM might be compatible.

Thank you. I was wondering if a 97 Mustang might be a good donor car? Being same year and motor size.

Not sure, my son had one, do not remember what year it was, it was based on the MN12 platform chassis. Mark viii is based of a modified version, FN10 platform.

I guess the Turbo Coupe's were only from '83 - '88.

Actually, I was referring to the supercharged Essex pushrod V6 motor that made it a Super Coupe. Produced from 89 to 95, It was mated to a Mazda 5 speed manual, M5R2.

Had never heard of them till now. I have a 4.6 liter V8 32 valve motor that the tranny needs to sit behind.
